## Description

Zildjian’ s one-of-a-kind L80 Low Volume cymbals are up to 80% quieter than traditional cymbals without losing the authentic Zildjian feel. They are ideal for practice spaces, drum lesson, low volume gigs or anywhere you can’t play loud. Building on the incredible success of the cymbal sets, the L80 Low Volume cymbals are available in a 20” Ride and a 10” Splash as well as a 8” Crash Ride and 16” Crash. Not only are these designed to seamlessly integrate into an existing L80 cymbal set, they can be used as stackers or even HiHat components to create new and cool effects.

Review: Factory defect? - Excellent Option For Practice or Gigs I've owned a set of Zildjian's Low Volume cymbals for about three months, and I'm very impressed. They sound great, are very quiet, and are extremely durable. Perfect for practice or small gigs. The only downside that I can think of is that the finish starts to turn a little dark after prolonged use... however, it does not affect the sound quality in any way. Another issue is that the bell on the ride cymbal does not sound like a traditional bell. But, the rest of the ride sounds excellent. However, I also purchased a Zildjian Low Volume L80 10" Splash cymbal as a separate item, but when I opened the package, the cymbal was (I think) a factory defect, because the shape of it resembled a small China cymbal (see the pictures I attached). I think it was pressed upside down... the bell of it is at the same level of its round edge... got bad luck with this purchase. It sounds great though, so I'm keeping it.
Review: Excellent feel, play anytime! - I set up my kit with quiet heads and cymbals to extend the hours I can practice without disturbing the household - or the neighbors with little ones. I have the high hat, 16", 18" and 20" from Zildjian and they are not only fun to play on, but sound good enough for small club gigs. Crisp and responsive with wood or nylon tips. Neighbors asked me if I stopped playing altogether! Been playing on Z's since the 70's - expect quality!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this cymbal come with a stand?**
A: No stand comes with the cymbal.

**Q: I play a lot of rock on drums and use my ride as a crash, does this 20” L80 still have the same type of feel when using it?**
A: Its really close to a real cymbal, it definitely reacts differently when used as a crash because of the weight reduction. Ive been using it as a chill ride cymbal and with an occasional heavy crash hit here and there for the past year and a half and its still in perfect condition. But be cautious, these are still incredibly weak, my 16" crash and 18" crash/ride broke in less than a year after casual hits,. But im an everyday drummer so they were constantly hit.

**Q: If you mic'd the ride, and were playing mainly quiet settings, could it work live?**
A: I use the big L80 ride and would suggest that for a quiet venue no mics would be necessary. Personally I would prefer to use normal volume ride and play lightly.

**Q: Can these lvc be used with gen16 pick ups?**
A: Yes! Definitely this can be used with pick ups! But you have to change to a different setup on module in order to get good pitch and sound. Cheers!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Zildjian 20” LV Ride is perfect for a quiet practice setup.
*by I***R on September 12, 2021*

Adding the 20” LV ride completed my quiet practice setup. I already had the Zildjian LV 14” hi-hats with 16” and 18” cymbals. My quiet kit layout is now the same arrangement as my normal drum kit. This is invaluable and I spend many hours of quality practice time on the LV kit and it all translates well to the real drum set. The 20” ride and the other Zildjian LV cymbals are excellent in my opinion and allow quiet accurate technical practice in every respect including good sound, feel, and dynamics. If you are setting up a quiet kit I highly recommend the Zildjian LV cymbals they are worth the money. I personally could not be without these for my serious practice time.
